Spot Bitcoin ETFs Attract $921 Million Within Just One Week

May 12, 2025

Following a chaotic period, the US spot BTC ETFs recorded a remarkably strong week, marking a three-week sequence of net inflows. From mid-April to early May 2025, the ETF inflows amassed close to $5.8 billion. Significantly, during the latest week alone, from 5 to 9 May 2025, the 12 operational spot BTC ETFs drew in an astonishing $921 million in fresh investments. Since its inception in 2024, this recent influx has surged the total to an unprecedented $41.16 billion.

While BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) maintains its lead with a 19-day inflow streak that has added over $5 billion to its assets, Fidelity’s FBTC and ARK21Shares’ ARKB also recorded impressive figures. This data originates from SoSoValue.

Multiple macroeconomic and geopolitical elements have driven this influx trend. The United States secured a trade agreement with the UK and China, mitigating global economic unpredictability and enhancing investor trust. Bitcoin surged back above the $100,000 threshold, reaching approximately $104,000 and neared its all-time high from January 2025 by just 4.5%.

Nevertheless, in February 2025, BlackRock’s IBIT faced its largest one-day outflow to date, when 5,000 BTC, valued at $420 million, were withdrawn on February 26. This eclipsed the $332 million withdrawal recorded on 2 January 2025.

During remarks at Token2049 Dubai on 30 April, Robert Mitchnick, Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, stated, “The flows are back in a significant manner.” He went on to note the intrigue in observing who has been acquiring BTC ETFs over the past 16 months. “Initially, it was mainly retail. However, two additional key segments have emerged, which are wealth advisory and institutional,” he elaborated.

Are ETH ETFs Approaching All Time Highs?

Inflows into ETH ETFs have not matched the heights of BTC, yet overall commitments are showing an upward trend. Ethereum ETFs recorded $1.5 million in inflows, pushing AUM to nearly $12 billion.
